Jeremy Sanders points out that the label for delchi plots is wrong or at least misleading. Fixed this by changing the entry in plotLabels.dat. Note that the label is now hardwired for the chi-squared statistic however the delchi plot doesn't make any sense for other statistics.

Jeremy also noted that the y-axis label is a long way to the left and this looks strange. The reason for the position is that with LAB ROT we need to leave space to write numbers of the formA x 10^(-B). Curiously, we are defaulting to rotated labels for 2-panel plots but unrotated labels for 1-panel plots. I've no idea why. Note that the easy way to move around the position of the y-axis label isPLT> lab pos y 3.0

Fixed bug that was adding a "#" to the next line instead of the current line of log file output. This is a partial fix to issue 1024. Input when setting parameter values (in model or newpar) is still not echoed to the log file - problem is in ModelContainer::setParameterFromPrompt.

Update: had to back this change out because it doesn't work with tcerr, which is not buffered and hence passes one character at a time to TclIO::write. Craig worked out how to fix xsLog.cxx to fix the problem.

I've created a Wiki page with a list of xspec priority enhancements. These are divided into large and small projects. At the moment they are not priority-ordered but I will add that along with additional information on the large projects.

Updated documentation to match recent enhancements and additional models. Note that the description of the bvapec model is now included along with the bapec model, not in a separate file.

Fixed a plotting bug. The green line marking 0 or 1 in the res, ratio, chi etc. plots did not go all the way across the plot if a rescale was done so that only part of the x-range of the data was included. Note that a rescale to start at an x-value below the initial data will not draw the green line for the x values below the start of the data.
